Its somewhere on the west coast. I haven't been able to see a complete traceroute to their game servers for a while, but it always drops off at a backbone in the LA area.

The hurricane could be the cause of some of the lag/disconnects. You don't have to live in Texas for your connected to be routed through Dallas/Ft. Worth. I would imagine problems with a hub that large could shift a lot of traffic and cause congestion on other networks.

experiencing occassional lag spike in here as well.

>_>

I stopped playing Jade Quarry after I was consistently disconnected twice during each game.

Anet = Washington state

Servers = I want to say southern California, but I remember a while back they moved them, possibly Texas now can't remember.

Well, since it occured Friday, that means it won't be fixed until Monday.

Of course, Regina and A.net will claim that "there was only lag for a couple of hours." Dumb corporate spin

uzumaki · Sep 13, 2008, 04:37 AM // 04:37

been playing most of today, no d/c's & good ping although everyone around me seemed to d/c / lag

@_@ ~ wtf

Master Ketsu · Sep 13, 2008, 04:58 AM // 04:58

Twas playin sum TA. Only two of our team loaded, only two of their team loaded. Had ourselves a 2v2. Won a few gladpoints. Lulz.

And from what I hear this 2v2 phenom has happened to people multiple times today in both TA and RA.

My real-life friend and I were attempting to do some quests in the Charr homelands... bad idea. We got them done eventually, but every few minutes both of us would disconnect or have a severe lag spike at the same time. Synchronized lagging: the new olympic sport of Guild Wars.

Trylo · Sep 13, 2008, 05:25 AM // 05:25

we did a VS run in 4 minutes... with a pug! and we were all like... OMG you guys are awesome! and then we were all like... Yea!

then we all DC'd, err7! and half the people quit.

moral:
i want a free VS plox.

OT: yea, 2 Err7 so far and HUGE lag spikes in between... whats going on?

Masseur · Sep 13, 2008, 05:49 AM // 05:49

So. Cal. here and was playing a lot this evening and no lag or d/c's, but a few in our alliance were having major issues, especially one in the south.

Victorious · Sep 13, 2008, 05:06 PM // 17:06

Seems to be entirely cleared up for me today. Last night's lag was absolutely terrible though - random 13k pings, bunch of friends err7'ing...good stuff.

HawkofStorms · Sep 13, 2008, 05:18 PM // 17:18

I hadn't had any problems at all, but after playing FA and RA a bit, there were definately some disconencts by other people.

BenjZee · Sep 13, 2008, 06:08 PM // 18:08

massive update coming through!
nah not really....
pitty but i suppose you people have other things to do except play guild wars?

rohara · Sep 13, 2008, 08:23 PM // 20:23

got disconnected at least a dozen times yesterday, up til 2am CST. seems a little better now - only severe lag spikes instead of disconnects. not that that is a massive improvement XD
